These adjustments reconcile the Company’s GAAP results of operations to the reported non-GAAP results of operations.  The Company believes that presentation of net income and net income per share excluding stock-based compensation expense, severance, expenses related to stockholder activities, and tax on change in legal structure provides meaningful supplemental information to investors, as well as management, that is indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods.  The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and budgeting purposes.  These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s GAAP results, and may be different than non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
 
(a)  
This adjustment reflects the stock-based compensation expense.  For the first quarter of fiscal 2012 ending September 30, 2011, $1.5 million stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows: $463,000 to research and development, $496,000 to sales and marketing and $582,000 to general and administrative.  For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 ending June 30, 2011, $1.5 million stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows: $416,000 to research and development, $475,000 to sales and marketing and $554,000 to general and administrative.  For the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011 ending September 30, 2010, $894,000 stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows: $291,000 to research and development, $231,000 to sales and marketing and $372,000 to general and administrative.
 
(b)  
This adjustment reflects the severance to the Company’s former executive allocated to sales and marketing.
 
(c)  
This adjustment reflects the expenses in response to our activities and inquiries of Starboard Value LP allocated to general and administrative.
 
(d)  
This adjustment reflects the withholding tax in connection with the change in legal structure of foreign operations.
